A kicked off Thursday evening around 6.45 pm, British summertime, starting as a 50 meter by 20 meter blaze with worries it was, digging into the ground below. Crews rolled in quick with two fire appliances at first, then called for a water carrier to help out. Four trucks came and went over the hours, keeping the pressure on those flames. The fire service says folks on site are still battling hotspots that keep popping up. No major injuries reported, but everyone's on high alert for any, spread.
